Rowling once said:<br />„We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better.“ <br /><br />You people in Tahrir, in Alex, Ismailia, Beni Suef, Suez and all over Egypt - you are proving to the world that you have the power to imagine better. That is why you will win. Because they are empty inside, they don&#39;t have that power, you have. Don&#39;t ever forget what you have inside. The power to imagine better that you show to the world makes you invincible.jemiluhttp://www.jmlpress.com/tahrir.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-14132914187898475022011-02-07T13:09:13.015+02:002011-02-07T13:09:13.015+02:00Egyptians will never seize to be creative :)Egyptians will never seize to be creative :)Fadfadationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16473286324749523869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-40705830400015893972011-02-07T11:35:06.778+02:002011-02-07T11:35:06.778+02:00Zenobia&#39;s english is 10 times better than the ...Zenobia&#39;s english is 10 times better than the arabic of US western and israeli officials on our tv screens. She&#39;s communicating in the opposite direction without being a proffessional or getting paid for it, and doing it succesfully as can be seen by the number and variety of visitors on her blog and followers on Twitter. I&#39;m sure you can do much better though, start a blog and show us why don&#39;t you?<br /><br />P.S.

I feel very afraid and very unhappy!<br /><br />I was watching Al Jazeera Arabic &amp; English, and saw that the vice-dictator Suleiman has managed to trick a few parties into talks and discussions.<br /><br />I am very unhappy about the way these talks have started.<br /><br />The revolution asked for the resignation of the dictator, the vice president, the lifting of the state of emergency, the dissolution of the two houses of parliament, a new constitution and a totally free and independent judiciary and press.<br />In my opinion the revolution should have also asked for the dissolution if not the banning of the so called National Democratic Party (NDP).<br /><br />Tell me, did the French revolutionaries sit down with the French King and started meetings and talks and discussions?<br />As far as I know the French king eventually went to the GUILLOTINE.<br /><br />So the dictator and his regime (including the army top brass) should feel grateful that they are still alive! <br /><br />The parties that are talking to the vice-dictator today have absolutely no connection with the young revolutionaries.<br /><br />I am afraid that the dictator is using the old regime tricks and deceitful ways to circumvent the revolution .Almasri Alhornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-22038443159856274142011-02-07T03:39:56.561+02:002011-02-07T03:39:56.561+02:00Zeinobia, I understood you very well without speak...Zeinobia, I understood you very well without speaking a word of Arabic.

Your last sentence reads:<br />&quot;Today there were a Christian mess, Muslim martyr and a concert as well at the Tahrir square.&quot;<br />Which translates into:<br />النهارده كان في فوضى مسيحية وشهيد مسلم وكمان حفلة في ميدان التحرير<br />Which, if read by someone who is a first time visitor to your blog would make them think you&#39;re crazy or you just choose words at random and stick them together in a sentence.<br /><br />Now that that&#39;s out of the way, allow me to ask you for a favor:<br />PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stop sodomizing the English language with a baseball bat covered in broken glass for the love of God!!!<br /><br />You seem to do this every time you&#39;re excited and the sad part is that it makes it very hard for the reader to understand what you&#39;re saying because half the time we&#39;re trying to make sense of your sentences.
